so much going on
ideas books movies music life
that needed serious thought
before I could commit
but no
the world family lovers others
cops courts teachers schools
demanded answers now
before I got good time to think
the sound of one hand clapping
the other covering my eyes
gimme a minute dammit
give me time to form an opinion
just let me lie down for a little while
can we talk this over please
maybe sitting talking
getting a drink?
